Note - pending replacement

Although version 1.0.0 was recently released, work has already begun on version 2.0.0, which is being developed at robinvandernoord/uvx2. The decision to undertake this new version is driven by performance concerns with the current Python implementation, which has a startup time of 200ms. To address this, uvx 2.0 is being rewritten in Rust. This transition will enable uvx to utilize some of the APIs of uv directly, without the need to spawn a separate process (in some cases), thus enhancing performance further. Despite this rewrite, both the repository and the existing Python implementation will be maintained, particularly for bug fixes, because it may have a larger (backwards) compatibility across system architectures.
